My Pregnant Body - Week by Week Pregnancy

Week 14 - Skin Changes

Since you are now well into your pregnancy, you may notice your breasts and, in particular, your nipples have changed. Your areolas - the dark areas around your nipples - may have become enlarged and darker in preparation for lactation.

Another very noticeable change to your body may be the appearance of a dark line down your abdomen, called a linea negra. These and other skin changes during your second trimester are due to (what else?!) hormonal fluctuations.
